Swordmaster of the Red Light District

Practical (4)

88

“Agg, so…”

Rey made a sound of pain and crawled sideways to avoid the stalks of the melting rocks.

If I hadn’t used the space sword to move the heat rays aside, I would have been really dead.

“What kind of power is this…”

Since the Signi Mountains are overflowing with mana, the power of magic might have been further strengthened.

Even considering him, the firepower that the 2nd Circle could not show was not enough.

“I’ll have to put on some armor…”

It was really inefficient to block such a wide range of thermal energy attacks with a sword.

Rey threw away the half-melted sword, crawled on the ground and buried himself in the still-melted snow.

Smoke billows up around Ray.

With a handful of eyes in her mouth, Rei, who opened her eyes, stopped moving to cool her body.

The body temperature that had been boiling over went down, and the mind became fuzzy.

“Ugh…”

how long have you been

As I slowly twitched my limbs to get up, I heard an unfamiliar voice nearby.

“What is that? Is it a person?”

“You’re right…!”

Ray raised her hand up and waved it.

My luggage evaporated and my clothes were half burnt.

It will be possible to return home as it is, but getting one or two jerky or Mokpo would be very helpful.

While Ray is in a hopeful imagination.

A ranger in leather armor strode over and grabbed Rey’s hair and lifted it up.

“Are you a citizen?”

“Yes, I am a citizen of the Empire.”

Rei recognized that the opponent was a ranger and smiled as brightly as possible.

The Ranger looked carefully at Rey’s goal and threw it back.

“Take it tight.”

The other rangers rushed in and started tying Rey’s hands and feet.

Ray was flustered and confused.

“Wow, isn’t this an Imperial Territory?! Is it okay to do this to the people of the Empire?!”

Irrespective of Rey’s protest, the rangers quickly tied Rey so that he could not even move his fingers.

A dagger is aimed at Rey’s neck as he rolls his eyes.

It was time for interrogation.

After manifesting the magic, Luna stumbled in place after not being able to hold out for a while.

While his stamina was low, his mind became distant due to the expression of powerful magic.

Jenkinson quickly grabbed Luna.

Didier came over and whispered to Jenkinson.

“Sir Jenkinson, it would be good to finish the training.”

“That’s it.”

The scale of the magic Luna unfolded was far beyond expectations.

It was enough to attract the attention of beings staying in the Signi Mountains, including rangers.

With the children brought along, I couldn’t take the risk of training a little more.

While Jenkinson and Didier were on their way back, children rushed in and looked down the opposite mountain.

“The mountain has melted…”

“The magic is amazing!”

“Are all wizards capable of shooting magic like this?”

Jenkinson grabbed his forehead at the clear question.

“If all wizards were as great as Luna, the world would have been split in two.”

Shaking his head, Jenkinson and Didier gathered the children together.

“The training ends here and then I come back.”

The children cheered a little.

Few children liked to leave home and go to school.

Jenkinson picked up the exhausted Luna.

Even if he moved quickly, it would take two days to return.

Didier stood in front and Jenkinson watched behind and panted through the mountains leading the panting children.

He moved because he was moving fast in his own way, and he tried to erase the traces of his movement.

However, the opponent was bad.

Rangers easily found and pursued the traces of the knights and children.

The next day, early in the morning, the sun had not yet risen.

Didier, who was on guard duty, put his hand on the hilt.

Jenkinson, who had been sleeping next to the children, also woke up quickly.

Sabak!

Footsteps were heard nearby.

Didier muttered with a look of disappointment.

“this….”

I didn’t notice the sound of footsteps until I got closer.

Few beings were able to conceal their presence to this extent against the knights.

Didier exclaimed in a loud voice.

“Hello!! What did you come here for?”

The children woke up one by one as their voices resounded through the mountains.

Rangers walked out in the dark.

Didier and Jenkinson immediately showed their swordsmanship.

A flash of blue glowing briefly dispels the darkness.

“This is the Imperial Territory. I know your mission, but if you show yourself so proudly, this side will be in trouble.”

“…”

The rangers further narrowed the distance in silence.

Jenkinson’s brow twitched.

Only the number of rangers felt exceeded ten.

Rangers’ average strength is a little lower than that of knights, but this was their home ground.

It was difficult for one knight to take charge of two rangers.

‘Is the Ranger moving on such a large scale?’

A squad of rangers usually consists of three or four people.

This means that more than one platoon was deployed, and the atmosphere was not good.

‘Is it because of Luna’s magic? Considering that, is it an overly sensitive reaction?’

Tsuzuzu!

On the ranger side, several people express their swordsmanship.

In the atmosphere that continued to deteriorate, Yohana and the children drew their weapons with tense faces.

Jenkinson swallowed the sound of pain.

Collision was to be avoided as much as possible, but if it did collide, ‘Gnome’ was absolutely necessary.

‘How long is this guy going to keep watching?’

“master!”

Just then, the voice of the sage was heard.

It was Jenkinson who was usually terrified of Ray, but this time he responded kindly.

“Lay!”

I turned to where the voice came from.

The captured Rey was being dragged along by the rope.

“…?”

Jenkinson, who was frozen by the unexpected sight, grabbed his back.

“You came here to help… weren’t you?”

“Were you caught and dragged away?”

“…”

Jenkinson’s head was pounding.

Looking at Rey’s mourning, he found everything from his half-burned clothes to his bald head.

“Did you get hit by a ranger?”

“No, it was struck by lightning in the dry sky.”

Lightning strikes in the dry sky?

Jenkinson shook his head, then realized what had happened.

Magic.

Rey, who was following Luna’s magic, suffered.

“Uhhh…”

Jenkinson began to giggle with a suffocating sound.

Rey wrinkled her eyebrows at Jenkinson’s terrifying laughter.

“Oh my gosh…!”

One of the rangers kicked Rey’s back as he was about to get nervous.

Whoops!

“Ugh!”

“Shut up. I didn’t bring Saddam to share.”

“Shut up…?”

Rey, who was pretending to be sick, raised the tension.

I feel a powerful being trying to manifest.

Ray shook her head.

Luna’s eyes met with a cold face and rolled hands.

Ray screamed inwardly.

‘Don’t bring out the spirit…!’

Following Lay, Didi also noticed the strong wind and hurriedly grabbed Luna’s shoulder.

“Not now…!”

“…”

At Didier’s whisper, Luna relaxed her grip.

The strong winter wind calms down again.

Ray and Didier made a sound of weakness at the same time.

Meanwhile, Jenkinson lowered his sword to the ground and took a few steps closer to the Ranger.

The blue blade came close to his neck, but Jenkinson wasn’t too nervous.

“The Rangers don’t need to be sharp on us, do they? Why are you doing this?”

“What’s going on in the Signy Mountains?”

One of the rangers standing behind asked.

Jenkinson shrugged lightly.

“You came in a little bit deeper to give the children survival training. You can tell by looking at it, right?”

At first glance, the children standing behind Jenkinson were shrunken.

The Ranger continued to ask questions.

“Where’s the wizard? What was the reason for the large-scale magic?”

“Ah, that’s what…”

Jenkinson looked into Ray’s eyes.

The rangers must have already finished interrogating Rey.

Jenkinson also had to kiss her wisely.

“…This time, the Count’s newly hired wizard came with us because he had a magic to test.”

“…”

“But after finishing the experiment, he left alone. We were just returning to the Countess because we noticed that for nothing.”

“Don’t lie. I haven’t found any traces of anyone other than you.”

“If you had seen the traces of magic, you would have noticed that he was not an ordinary wizard. I know that the Ranger’s tracking skills are excellent, but he’s not all-around, right?”

It was said in a detour, but in the end, it was said that the rangers had missed the traces of the wizard.

The ranger who had been asking the question muttered to himself.

“…I don’t understand the wizard’s actions.”

Why did he have to wear a hump and climb the Signi Mountains, sharpen one magic, and return alone?

Jenkinson replied with a smirk.

“Wizards don’t do geeky things in a day or two, don’t they?”

“…”

If Jenkinson’s words were a theory, it was a theory.

Even if the wizard was going to do any tricks, the chances of sharing the information with the knights and children were low.

Ray’s testimony and Jenkinson’s testimony were almost identical, so there wasn’t much to discuss.

Jenkinson asked, raising his hands.

“Can’t you send it to me now?”

“…”

Rangers looked into each other’s eyes.

just send it? It wouldn’t be a big problem.

You could say that the Rangers’ reaction was a little overactive, but that was just that.

But even if you don’t send it, it doesn’t matter at all.

Rangers were pros in the aftermarket.

In addition, there were many people whose nature and hands were rough due to their long mountain life.

A certain ranger’s gaze was dazzled by the moonlight and softly turned to Yohana’s sword, while another ranger’s gaze was less mature, but scanned the vivid female body of the girl.

With a pouting mouth, Ray pulled out the lines he had prepared.

“Master, would you like to remove it?”

“Look, you shut up.”

Jenkinson replied nervously.

Whether you win or lose, armed conflict with the rangers was a really unwelcome choice.

Two horses sprinted wildly across the uneven dirt floor.

The horses were large and had no luster to their mane, but they roared as if they were about to foam at any moment due to overuse.

“I need a break.”

Said the man in a rough patch of old armor.

Just looking at his outfit, he looked like a hunter or mercenary who lived on a job.

A man wearing a black robe shot at the man in old armor.

“Relax? Where the hell? Where’s the safe place?”

“…I’ll have to cross the mountains soon. I need to stock up on stamina. I think a spearhead would be better than an inn. It will slow down the chase a bit, but…”

The man in old armor spoke with difficulty.

“You’d better have a woman to lessen your doubts.”

“…”

The man’s face was distorted, and the man in old armor looked away.

Soon after, the two reached the Count of Phillips.

The man in old armor asked the villagers and went to the most popular Changgwan.

To others, the two looked like talented mercenaries starving for women.

A man and a man in old armor opened the door of the window with a plausible sign and entered.

Lilac’s dinner was ostensibly a restaurant, so several customers looking to buy a woman were having a light meal on the first floor.

Jobs, a member of the Jimmy family, saw a man and a man in old armor and his eyes lit up.

It’s the first time I see your face. Are you here to get water?

The car was meant to give you such a light greeting.

Bella, standing behind him, put his finger on Jobs’ back and drew a circle twice.

It was a sign that he was an opponent to watch out for.

Bella, who had good eyesight and had frequent opportunities to encounter fabrics that were considered high-end, could immediately recognize them.

It means that the fabric of the underwear exposed through the old armor of the man is a great luxury item.

I don’t know if Nari, an aristocrat with bad taste, heard the window, or if there is another story.

It was an opponent who had no good against his heart.

Jobs ignored unnecessary stories and treated his opponents firmly.

A small stable attached to the evening building of Lilac was full of two horses.

The man and the man finished their light meal without a word.

Jobs asked the man going upstairs and the man in old armor.

“Is there a woman you like…?”

“I’ll take a look.”

“All right.”

After the guests disappeared, a fight broke out between the women.

If the opponent was an aristocrat from far away, he could get more tips, but it was almost impossible to stop him when trouble occurred.

Lilac’s Evening is said to be the most famous in the Earl of Phillips, but after all, it is a window used by the common people.

If a nobleman dared to visit this place, there was a high probability that he would not be able to see it.

Bella sighed and went out first.

“I’ll take the person in the left room.”

“Uh… Please take good care of me.”

Jobs nodded.

After Bella had dressed up, the man in the robe knocked on the door.

“Can I come in?”

“…come in.”

Click!

Bella entered the room with her head lowered.

In the room, water was prepared in a tub for bathing along with the bed.

“Can I help you take a bath…?”

👌👌👌👌👌

Bella couldn’t finish her words and fell to the floor.

The basket in his hand fell over, and the items he had prepared for the hospitality poured out.

The cheeks were hot.

As Bella was about to stand up, the man grabbed her hair and threw it onto the bed.

“Ouch!”

“This damn lowly thing…!”

The man got on Bella.

A strong hand strangles Bella’s neck.

The man sharpened his teeth towards Bella, who was grinning.

“Do you know who I am? Do you know who I am…! How dare you…!”

The man seemed to be very dissatisfied with this situation, and he was standing still while voicing his ferocious emotions.

Bella continued to giggle and looked at the man in front of her.

Beyond the blurred vision, the figure of the bright red eyes that were torn vertically was reflected.

It will be a long and difficult night.

After making up her mind, Bella wrapped her legs around the man’s waist .
